What eye colors can a domestic shorthair have?

Domestic shorthairs can have a wide range of eye colors, adding to their visual diversity. Common eye colors include green, gold, yellow, and blue. Green eyes can vary from a deep, emerald shade to a lighter, more minty hue. Gold eyes range from a bright, almost metallic gold to a softer, warm amber.

Yellow eyes are often seen in various shades, from a pale, lemony tint to a richer, deeper gold. Blue eyes are less common but can be strikingly vivid, particularly in cats with certain color points or specific genetic backgrounds.

In addition to these standard colors, domestic shorthairs can also have eyes that are copper or orange. Some cats might have heterochromatic eyes, meaning each eye is a different color, or odd-eyed, where one eye is blue and the other a different color, such as green or yellow.
